Earth Ovens: Cooking Workshop

Our Cob Oven Cooking Workshop with Kat Heitman was a huge success! We learned about building a cob oven, best fire-starting practices, and cooking and baking at different temperatures. We prepared food together, shared recipes, and indulged in a decadent array of edibles. Thank you to our wonderful participants, instructors and assistants. Stay tuned for more exciting workshops headed your way!

straw bale presentation - now on video!

We had the opportunity to video record our July monthly presentation on Straw Bale Construction featuring our enthusiastic friend and local natural building expert Kindra Welch. Stay tuned for more information on how to view this and future presentations via our website. We are eager to share it all with you!

Let's empower the next generation with natural know-how!

Design Build Live wants the next generation to have what we didn't: know-how. Start young and they'll always know how to build from the ever-readily accessible and creativity-inspiring resources: clay, sand and straw! This cob bench was the result of a sweet collaboration between Brentwood Elementary School students and Design Build Live volunteers. Stay tuned for a future shade structure workshop for "cobby the caterpillar"!
